Commerce to Flay Frajtfalla,
Commerce playa Franklin Wednes
day. The Stenographers at present
are in the cellar with little chance of
getting out. With the exception of
Commerce, all other teams seem fairly
evenly matched. Even Washington,
although It occupies the berth next to
the cellar, has a strong team and
gave Lincoln Its hardest battle, losing
by only tour points.
James John and Washington will
clash Thursday. This game will wind
up the schedule for the week. Only
two more weeks of basketball are en
the docket. The crowds have been so
large this season that the Washington
high gym Is pot big enough to accom
modate them. When Jefferson played
Frankiin last week the crowd on the
floor anp in the baloony was naif

80,523 MILES AKEJ ON ROTJTE
Pittsburg to Hake Most and New
York Fewest Trips.
NEW YORK, Feb. 6-Th eight
clubs In the National league will
travel 89,523 miles to complete the
schedule formally adopted.
The Pittsburg Pirates must cover,,
more ground than any other club-"
13,751 miles, to be exact, while the
New York Giants are lucky enough
to have the minimum, as they will
travel only 9622 miles. In quest of
another pennant.
The season will open on April 12
with Brooklyn at New York, Boston
at Philadelphia, Chicago at Cincln
nati and Pittsburg at St. Louis.
It Is fitting that the world's chan
plons should open at home at the Polo
grounds. As a matter of fact the
Giants will open at dome and close
at home, which will be in their favor
if they are In the thick of the pen
nant fight next September.
The New York team also Is well
served in holiday dates, as it will
have 13 Saturdays, 13 Sundays and
July 4 at the Polo grounds with
Brooklyn.
The Giants also will have two
games on Memorial day in Philadel
phia and two games with the Boston
Braves on Labor day.
The Robins, after opening the sea
eon against the Giants in New York,
will have their own opening in Brook
lyn on. April 16 against Philadelphia.
They will have 13 Saturdays 18 Sun
days and Memorial day at Ebbets

3TXD McCOY GETS REVENGE
Sparring Partner, Once Punished, I
Plays Trick and Wins.
Kid McCoy, former sparring part
ner of Tommy Ryan, challenged the
latter to fight for the middleweight
title in 1896. Down in his heart
McCoy entertained a hatred for Ryan
because the latter had punished him
wickedly when McCoy was in the
champion's camp. But he concealed
that feeling from Ryan and allowed
the latter to believe he need not
train hard for the bout.
They met in the ring at Maspeth,
I I.. March 2, 1896. Ryan, in poor
condition, had the first round, but
McCoy was the aggressor from then
on. The end came in the 15th round,
the details of which are:
McCoy Jabbed his left to the wind
three times and swung a right to the
head and it practically was all over.
McCoy landed a left on the jaw and
Ryan went down at the ropes. He
got up as the referee, Tim Hurst,
counted ten, but it was his last
effort, as McCoy sent right and left
to the Jaw, putting Ryan down and
out. He tried to get up, but was
done for. Ryan was carried back to
his corner in a badly battered con
dition and had to be helped to his
dressing room. The round lasted one
minute and 54 seconds.

Co-operation of Many Seconds and
Manager in Reforming Practice
Declared to Be Certain.
The Portland boxing commission
has pledged Itself to take some action
toward curbing Beconds who handle
boxers in shows held under its aus
pices. The commission will meet
tomorrow noon, at which time the
matter of the seconds will be brought
up. A date will be set also for the
next show at the armory.
There has not been a show either
in Portland or at Milwaukie recently
at which some second by his yelling
and shouting at his boxer, besides
insulting remarks to the boxer's
opponent, has not made himself
obnoxious to the spectators. Mem
bers of the commission have come
out flatfooted and .say that this must
stop. They promise drastic action
toward curbing the seconds, prob
ably modeled after the New York
rules.
That the commission will receive '
the co-operation of many of the
seconds and managers of boxers
here is certain. Stanley McDonald,
who has been handling- and instruct
ing boxers in Portland perhaps as
long as any of the managers, said
yesterday that he favors a stiff code
for the seconds to follow. McDonald
would like to have at least four
official towel swingers appointed by
the commission to do that work for
all the boxers.
Any rules,, the Portland commis
sion lays down regarding seconds
will be followed cheerfully by me.
and I feel sure that most of the other
chief seconds feel the same way
about it," said McDonald. "There are
only a few seconds who do not know
how to govern themselves when they
go behind a fighter and they should
be made to behave or be barred
altogether."
The next show by the Portland
boxing commission probably will be
held next Saturday night at the
armory. Tentative plans for the card
call for three six-round bouts and
three four-round contests, all with
local talent. This is the proposal
Matchmaker Hansen will lay before
the commission at its meeting.
The Portland commission has a
clear field for the next two weeks
as Milwaukie has no card coming up
until March 17. The Portland com
mission wants to try out Saturday
night- for shows.

CALIFORNIA ' PLANS STADIUM
Hope Expressed to Use New Field
for New Year's Day Game.
BERKELEY, Cal., Feb. 25. Uni
versity of California hopes to play
football against an eastern college
team next New Year's day in a sta
dium to be buiit on the campus here
this year, Graduate Manager Nichols
has announced. California has played
in the annual New Year's day east
west games at Pasedena for the last
two years.
The new stadium is to cost approxi
mately $800,000 and will seat 70,0000.
The playing field is to be excavated and
the earth banked on the sides for
seats. California originally planned
a million-dollar concrete stadium off
the campus here, but the plan was
dropped when the land which was
wanted for the stadium could not be
hand at the price figured on.

British Are Only Challengers Thus

1922 the only challenge has been that

SUCCESS IN ATHLETIC WORLD
Few Athletes Rise to Top Until They Have Had Many a Good View of

BILLIARD TOURNEY NARROWS
Only Eight Players of the 40 Start
ers in the Lists.
The three'eushion handicap bil
liard tournament at the Rialto has
narrowed down until only eight play
ers of the 40 that started remain in
the lists.
C. Fairbanks and George Weber
remain undefeated, each having won
five matches without losing a game
to date. Fairbanks carries a handi
cap of 27, while Weber is playing
with a 32 handicap, so when they
meet the former has to run only 27
billiards to win, while Weber must
register 32. Harry Gardner, one of
the six players with four games won
and one lost, is packing a stiff
handicap of 40, the highest in the
tournament.
All the remaining players are
about even. Gardner and Weber
each have turned in a high1 run of
seven billiards. Four games will be
played off this week. Results in
Friday night's matches were: George
Hart beat E. H. Dainard, 32 to 24;
R. B. Wanless defeated O. L. Arthur,
25 to 19; C. Fairbanks defeated Fred

New York was not the only place, where Studebaker records were broken

half times as great as in January, 1921. Kansas City, Cleveland, Buffalo,
Los Angeles Chicago and other points throughout the country show big
increases in retail sales over 1921.
The public is using more discretion than ever before in the selection of
motor cars insisting on greater intrinsic value for. each dollar invested
that explains the big increase in the, sale of Studebaker Cars.

GOPHER COACH TELLS PLANS
BY SOIi METZGER. i
ALTOGETHER there are as many
ways of perfecting one's self in
any game as there are Instruc
tors. But a close study of the meth-,
ods of champions brings to light the
Interesting fact that observation Is
always a most necessary factor In
attaining the pinnacle. : Athletes may
be perfect in fundamentals and pos
sess all the nerve In the world, but
few of them rise to the top untl
they have had many a good view of
the stars in action.
We submit In support of this con
tention some few facts: Take the big
leaguers. Rarely do they get their
berths until they have devoted a sea
son or two to the bench watching.
Take the golf champions. The ma
jority have risen from the ranks of
caddies, a school offering rare op
portunities for noting the form of the
best players. Take football. The big
teams of all time have been those
made up of ex-school boys whi have
had abundant opportunity to witness
the best college elevens in action.
Pop "Warner attributes his success
with the Indians to the fact that they
learned football by watching it
played, so amazingly developed were
their powers of imitation.
What advantage Is to be gained by
observation? How does It actually
benefit your game? These are per
tinent questions, readily answered.
Did you ever note how easy It seems
for a good golfer to play a good shot,
or a good footballer to make a clean
tackle, or a star third baseman to
field a grounder and whip the ball to
first. Come to think of It, didn't every
one of these actions seem simpler
easy? The result was that if you hap
pened to be playing any one of those
games you strove to do the particu
lar act ;n wnicn you were Interested
in like manner your next time at It.
And in proportion to your ability
to note carefully the swing of the
golfer, the movements of the third
baseman, the drive of the tackier, you
improved your own game. You had
seen how really simple were the ac
tions and movements of the i.killed
a'.niete in doing his stunt. If you are
quite keen in your sense of observa
tion and your ability to imitate you
will somehow get the "feel" of the
golfer's swing, of the third Backer's
movements, of the tackler's drive.
Then you go and do likewise or know
the reason why. You battle for im
proving your game Is half won.
Many books have been written how
to play our various games, good ones,
too. But the authors and champions
will admit, once they are cornered,
that the keen observation of the
methods of the more skilled will carry
you further and faster than will all
the study of texts and treatises you
can crowd into your cranium.
The textbooks on sport are of ben
efit to the experienced player. From
them he can gain valuable tips! His
experience alone permits him to ap
preciate what the writer Is driving
at. The beginner and the one lack
ing In sound methods gains little from
reading, much from observation. One
must know what the goal is before
attempting It. Even the messenger
who sought Garcia admits that ad
vantage at the start.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Palo
Alto, Cal., Feb. 25. (Special.)
According to an announcement by
the coaching staff, Glenn Waraer
and Tiny Thornhill will arrive at
Stanford In time to start spring foot
ball practice April 4. Warner, con
sidered one of the greatest of foot
ball mentors, will have plenty of
material frnm which to select a
workable squad. Though Warner is
under contract with the University
of Pittsburg for two more years, he
will coach spring work at Stanford
and leave a lieutenant to complete
the fall training.
In an interesting swimming meet
in the Cardinal pool last week the
Olympic club team tied the local tank
artists, 34 to 34. The surprise of the
meet was the defeat of Phil Patter
son, the Olympic club's Pacific coast
diving champion, by White, who has
been under Coach Brandjsten's tute
lage only a few months. Hawley of
Stanford scored 68 feet In a record
plunge.
The main event of the asuatic
year will be an invitational swim
ming meet in the Cardinal pool
March 11, at which various universi
ties and clubs in northern California
will enter strong teams. It is planned
to make this invitational meet an
annual event.
Daily tryouts for places on the
handball team, which will meet the
University of California In the an
nual dual meet, are conducted under
the eye of Director Botsford. Mack
sen and Mark Cohn, former Lincoln
high champion, have shown up well.
Handball is now recognized as a
minor sport and championship players
will meet the Californians on the
Olympic club's enclosed courts.
Six additions to the Cardinal track
squad were made by Coach Temple
ton last week. They are Bennlnger,
Wassum. Ely, French, Wilcox and

Intricate Plays Not to Be Developed
at Michigan.
MINNEAPOLIS,' Minn., Feb. 25.
Development of the individual will be
the first point stressed by W. H.
Spaulding when he assumes charge of
the football coaching at the Univer
ffty of Minnesota next fall, in suc
cession to Dr. H. L. Williams. Spauld
ing, who comes to Minnesota from
the directorship of athletics a't West
ern State Normal school, Kalamazoo,
Mfch. outlined his tentative plans
for Gopher football in a statement to
the Associated Press.
"My great personal endeavor," he
said, "will be to teach the individual
player to block right, tackle right,
run with the ball right and forward
pass right, and do those things with
every atom of energy that can be
stirred up in his system. Men must
perform the requisite individual acts
with their bodies against the bodies
of their opponents or the most won
derful schemes of attack or defense
on paper will fall flat on the field of
action.
"Secondly, an endeavor will be
made to develop a team punch. Part
of that punch comes naturally from
thorough drill in fundamentals, but
the team as a whole must have drive,
fighting quality and something else
the ability to lift itself to the extra
pitch of play needed lor a crucial
game.
"For my general scheme of attack,
I believe in a few plays and fast, hard
drill in them. I am not a great hand
for anything intricate, feeling that
there is too much timo taken up in
working out highly, involved plays
which more often than not- fall flat
against a smart defense."
California Crews at Practice.

varsity and two freshman crews of
the. University of California already
have taken to the waters of the Oak
land estuary in preparation for the
collegiate races against the Univer

looks for no easy race at Seattle, for
the Bear boat this year will contain
only three veterans, while the north

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow,
Feb. 25. (Special.) Insinuations that,
the University of Idaho has no right
to take the coast conference cham
pionship with only an eight-game
schedule, which are coming as an aft
ermath of the Idaho-Washington
series, in which the Vandals took
both games, are declared by Fred
Graf, graduate manager, to be unjust
and unfair. Mr. Graf formed the
Idaho schedule at the Portland meet
ing last fall, at which Idaho was ad
mitted to the Pacific coast conference
and Washington to the northwest
conference.
"Idaho was willing to sacrifice
other games to make way for coast I
conference teams," said Mr. Graf.
"We even offered to play a return
series at Seattle with the University
of Washington, but Darwin Meis
nest, graduate manager, said that it
would be impossible this year on
account of a full schedule, and that
anyway it was Washington's time to
visit Idaho.
"The Oregon Aggies also were of
fered two games, either at Moscow
or Corvallis, and an effort was made
to play two return games with the
University of Oregon. California,
likewise, was approached in the hope
that It could find room for a game or
two with the Vandals and one game
was tentatively arranged, but this
was canceled shortly before the
Bears started north. In making the
Idaho schedule an effort was mado
to play as many conference teams as
we could and yet retain our standing it Tuesday. This organization, com
